Dinosaur land

Saw a hawk, got ripped off by taxi driver, discovered buses don't work on Sunday, saw a landscape lost in time and visited the wee fairies.
Very cool two days ( apart from transport hiccups). So much to see in Scotland and such friendly if slightly loony people ( my dad is Scottish before anyone finds a reason for that to be insulting).  Have been meandering around the highlands for two weeks now with the Mexican and I am pleased to report that he was blown away by the place, the mountains, the food and the parties.  Very proud of our little Britain after seeing it through someone else's eyes. We have everything, including a dino playground... Spent today on the Trotternish ridge in Skye and it does look like the Land that Time Forgot. I wouldn't have batted an eyelid if old Mr Rex popped out round a corner. As it happened he didn't more's the pity but we had a beer at the top and decided that the cemetary at the bottom of the ridge must be THE place to be buried. 
Scottish hospitality hit us full on in the face last week in Kinlocheven, hit so hard in fact we cannae remember a thing past 11pm although there is photographic evidence we were up until 1. We were kidnapped by a passing group of folk singers and musicians, alcohol was flowing plentifuly all courtesy of our new found friends. Dionysus would have been proud.
And we danced with the fairies last night. Yup Yup.
Anyhoo I'm off for a beverage.. Slainte

P.s see photo of our new friend Robbie aka tweet

  1. Sounds awesome (other than the taxi driver!) looking forward to seeing more photos. Sitting here in london post work feeling just a teeny bit envious!
